BC has gone thru it already, has tech to show how various scenarios will play out, it's a provincial election. Do you want 1st past the post or BC STV?

our 1st idea - an interactive web site so people can try out different voting results scenarios

by Ellen Michelson1/24/2009 6:54:10 PM

our second idea: foning STV (single transferrable vote) campaign -

by Ellen Michelson1/24/2009 6:54:45 PM

STV campaign w/web site etc. is in place - our ideas could be incorporated into this.

vote-swapping was a huge attention-getter - what can be parallel to that as an attention-grabber in BC? This is a marketing question. How will my vote matter no matter how I vote? The vote-swapping built personal relationships. So a pen-pal relationship Ontario-BC - a sponsor program. A BC buddy system.

Create low cost community centres by having businesses open their doors for events, eliminating rent, administration, and so on for the benefit of neighbourhood groups and more.

Build a ChangeKit which would include everything you need as a member of your community to get connected with your community, influencers and policy makers. Includes patterns, technology, design, process and so on that any community steward can use and continue to propagate.

Now I'm in the Haliburton/Kawartha Lakes/Brock group: Lindsay. This is where the Ontario by-election purportedly to elect John Tory is to be. This group is for brainstorming to foster the Green Party candidate, Mike Schreiner. At this point I had better identify myself - I was the Green Party candidate for Toronto Centre in this past fall's general election, am still active in the Green Party, i.e. came to this super event with a focus.

Vote reform group looking to help BC STV.ca group win the May election to give vote reform a foothold in Canada.

It would be nice if data were available as to how many people in a community are on Facebook, use Twitter ...

Change lab: public forum needs to be facilitated with politicians and constituents

by rochlatinsky1/24/2009 7:45:00 PM

Enjoyed the extremely lively and CROWDED session on opening Toronto's city data. There were, I'd say, literally over 100 ideas shouted out, some of which I came here to talk about, others of which had never crossed my mind. The mayor's office seems to be putting some energy into opening data up, and they had a very enthusiastic audience here today. I hope we can keep the conversation alive, though, since it's a lot easier to throw out ideas than to implement them.
